family journal

I've been thinking. I'm not very good at keeping a journal. But I like to look at past journal entries. I was telling my sister my dilemma and that I wanted to start a new blog and keep it as a family journal. She suggested that my old blog is still a family journal. I felt embarresed by some old past entries, but really isn't that what a journal is?? It was how I was feeling at the time, and I can see how things have changed, how I've grown, how my family has grown and what we've been through. So last night, Brian and I were looking through this blog at some really old posts. It was amazing what we forgot!! We saw old pictures and videos and we read some stories. I realized how much I love looking back and how happy I am to have those old memories documented! I want to keep up this blog, for the sake of MY little family!! My plan is to print them into books so I can keep these journals for my kids. It is so much easier for me to type than print in a book, and this way I can have pictures too. I can't scrapbook everything (nor do I want to) and I miss seeing the everyday, simple day-to-day stuff!! I love seeing how our family has grown! So, the blog is BACK! Feel free to read it if you like, but its really for MY benefit and our family so we can look back in years to come and see our life. I started this blog before Kennedy was born and so this has been the best way for me to journal! I'm excited to continue to keep track of our family and remember our memories!
